Thriftled – DoorDash for local thrift stores (books and clothes first)

My cofounder and I noticed that thrift stores were still offline, and no one had tried to solve delivery for secondhand items the way DoorDash did for food. We built Thriftled, which lists inventory from local thrift stores, lets users shop online, and handles delivery. No warehouses, no massive ops overhead — stores ship directly, and we handle the UX, payments, and logistics. We're testing with books and clothes from Value Village and a few independents. Would love your thoughts on the model, tech stack, and growth ideas.

In plain words

Thriftled is an online marketplace that connects users to local thrift stores for secondhand books and clothing. The platform lists inventory from partner thrift stores, allows customers to browse and purchase items online, and arranges delivery—all without warehouses. Stores handle shipping directly while Thriftled manages the user experience, payments, and logistics coordination. It's designed for people seeking secondhand goods and for thrift stores looking to reach online customers.

    Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

    I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
